Default 10/20: KK in a protected pot against a raise

It's about midnight Saturday night and our table just recently got short-handed when most of the fish left. Since then the table has become very aggressive pre-flop (but mostly the two players to my immediate right).

Both MP1 and MP2 are fairly straightforward players and probably have numbers like 30/10/1. MP1 bought in for 20BB, and currently has 35BB in his stack.

My table image: I've been at the table for four hours and I haven't folded much to turn raises, but I have shown down a few bluffs since we got short-handed. I've been quite aggressive post-flop, but have been losing a lot at showdown and am currently down 10BB.

Live 10/20 at the trop <font color="blue">(10 max, 6 handed)</font>

Pre-flop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG calls, MP1 calls, <font color="red">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="gray">2 folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero 3-bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, <font color="red">MP2 caps</font>, Hero calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (16.67 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="red">Hero bets</font>, <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="red">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="red">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

Turn: (12.8 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="red">Hero bets</font>, <font color="red">MP1 raises</font>, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, Hero calls for time and?

A 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is an obvious possibility as a hand that cold-calls the raise on the flop and then raises the turn. I'm drawing dead to it. I guess QJ is possible as well. The question is, am I ever facing a semi-bluff (flush draw) or a hand like AT? or perhaps two pair or a set (that I at least have outs against)?

It's a 16BB pot, so I'm getting 17-2 on a calldown.
