Okay, this was the first draft of genderbent!Steph (http://runespoor7.livejournal.com/85647.html#cutid1).

The whupping is not as painful as it is humiliating. Steve has to press his temples with his fingers to clear his head a little, and even then he can barely make out the jeering of the two guys running away, with their victim's purse and a victory over a costumed hero. Okay. So tonight isn't shaping up to be a good night.
There's a lighter sound from deeper into the alley, and then even lighter steps of someone getting closer. Steve's a bit too busy trying to convince his stomach it doesn't want to throw up in retaliation for the kick to worry about it right now.
“Are you alright?” Batgirl's voice tumbles over the second syllable, all careful sympathy. “What-- Spoiler?”
Steve groans, drops his head, and looks up with a fakefakefake smile at Batgirl.
“Hi, Batgirl.”
Journal, today I let two guys my age and without the slightest bit of training hand my ass back to me, skipped school, and looked horribly, horribly useless in front of my crush.
Oh, and I woke up a girl.
My luck: it is awesome.
Praying that she won't burst out laughing at him – though she has every reason to, because really, that's fucking pathetic – Steve shrugs and tries to give himself a countenance. He ends up gesturing vaguely at his surroundings – the dumpster he's been flung at, and the garbage bags that got torn in the scuffle. “So, er,” he tries as she comes closer to him. “Yeah, I...”
She raises her hand to her head and pulls her mask off. Steve cuts himself off pretty quick, and gapes.
Strands of black hair fall in a rough mess around her face. She's watching him with her eyebrows half-raised and lips pursed, and in a flash Steve sees the expression as how it looks like when she's wearing the mask, the one that said 'Batgirl is going to poke at the issue until she finds out what this is all about'. She looks even more catlike with the mask down, stubborn and curious and this is the first time she takes the mask off oh my god oh my god OH MY GOD! The mask! It's off! Maskless Batgirl!!! What do I do?!
