Default Hypothetical protect hand question: raise, cold call or fold?

Let's say you are on button with KQs. Two limpers to you, MP and CO call, you raise, both blinds and the two limpers call.

10 small bets in pot.

Flop: T 9 2 rainbow, but one of your suit is on the flop. So, you have two over cards, a gutshot and a back door flush for approx 8.5 outs.

Both blinds check, MP bets, CO raises. What is your line? There is now 13 small bets in the pot, costs 2 to call. 6.5:1

I know it is an easy raise if the flop wasn't already raised. Can you be confident that you really have 8.5 outs here? Do you cold call the two bets here? Raise to try and knock out the blinds and then call a cap? Fold?

I guess it would be read dependant. What if you are new to the table and have no reads other than it seems to be a typical low limit table? What do you do and why?

What if after you 3-bet, both the MP and CO just call and check to you on turn. What do you do if the turn is a brick and you don't improve to a flush draw? If it is checked to you, do you go for the free card? I think I would take free card in this situation. However, if I improved to a flush draw, I'd bet the turn. Free card play too weak? You got to figure that at least one of the other two caught a piece of the flop.

Just some hypothetical questions I thought of while reading the Protect Your Hand section of SSHE. I don't remember anything in there regarding a raised pot to you on the flop.
